Analytics Engineer, Data Platform
Upside, DC +3
What you will do
The work
Five million people use Upside to earn cash back on gas, groceries, and dining. The offers they see, the lifecycle messages they get, and the partner launches behind both all run on data models. You'll own a set of those. Not just building them. Deciding how they should be shaped, testing them, monitoring them, and documenting them well enough that someone else can safely build on your work. You'll sit close to Marketing, Data, and MarTech, so a lot of the job is turning a messy question into something concrete and trustworthy. Team of six. Snowflake, dbt, Dagster, AWS.
What you'll do in your first year
- Own a scoped domain of dbt models: design, build, test, ship, and monitor them, with a clear point of view on how they should be structured
- Turn ambiguous asks from Marketing and Product into scoped work, and talk openly about tradeoffs when the ask and the timeline don't fit together
- Write the design doc for the features you own and break the work into pieces teammates can pick up
- Add monitoring and alerting to your models so your team catches problems before stakeholders do
